So today started off waking up late…rushing to not miss the last shuttle….and then to have the shuttle not know where he was going after they shut down roads for the race and we had 15mins before transition closed so he just dropped us off somewhere on Constitution and we all ran…lol….luckily there was a delay to the start so we had a bit more time in transition before we were kicked out…OH YEAH…and it was raining since 2 or 3am and didn’t STOP until after we were biking!!!!
But I had a great race….even though I thought the whole thing was a sign not to do it….lol
3:22:09
Swim: 29.52 (1.5K) I probably should of swam harder, because I had a lot left in me the last 300m…but it was more of a struggle to get around people and not get knocked out with the multiple blows to the my head I received!
Transition 1: 6:43…had trouble getting my wetsuit off and everything was soaked even though I tried to cover things with plastic….so transition was REALLY slow 🙂 I was in no rush though 🙂
Bike: 1:32:09 (40K) I was TERRIFIED to ride my bike in the rain since I never did….but looking at my time compared to the Sprint in June I was going at a faster pace? But it was a 70degree day and not 90degrees…but it was double the distance so I’m still proud….on the downhil where I usually take full advantage of, to get back up the hill afterwards…..I slowed down because I was sooooooo scared of crashing…still not sure how I went faster since it was a bit hilly at times…so it was well for me
Transition 2: 4:58 a little faster…lol
Run: 1:08:29 (10K) I RAN THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the first attempt at ever running a 10K and I made it and at a decent pace for me!!! so proud of this!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Well I made it through the race without difficulty and probably could of went out stronger if I knew what I was getting myself into…..good times…
Got to love not endurance training and using CROSSFIT!!!!
by the way….in Feburary I couldn’t even run for more than 2minutes!!!! Yay Me!!! I still have a long way to go…but DEFINITELY on the right track!!!
